Moore's Bush is nestled in the beautiful Leith Valley, just a 10-minute drive from Dunedin City.

Pelorus catchment area, or Te Hoiere, is home to one of the last remaining populations of long tailed bats in the Top of the South.

This volunteer group manages 500 hectares of native forest in the Kaimai Mamaku Conservation Park, between Tauranga and Katikati.

There is one circuit track on the reserve that takes approximately one hour to walk. From this track you can access the old fence track and the brow track.

The Branch operates a native shrub and tree nursery in Hastings. Volunteers meet at the Nursery most Tuesday mornings caring for plants propagated from seed sourced by the volunteers.   

Walking Tracks: A walking track has been recently opened and marked out in this reserve, following a successful 20-year planting program carried out by the Waikato Branch.

The nursery is a joint project of Wellington and Lower Hutt Branches and supported by Greater Wellington. It was officially opened on 30 July 2021.

By providing nest boxes, predator control, and plant cover around Wellington's South Coast we are creating safe places for little penguin kororā to breed.

Paremata Flats Reserve is a publicly-owned area, under the jurisdiction of Nelson City Council, encompassing tidal, river and land biodiversity systems.

Walking tracks: There are two tracks. The main loop track takes between one and a half and two hours to complete; it is medium difficulty and includes some steps.

The vision for our native planting projects is to create an environment alongside our local waterways that supports aquatic and terrestrial life.
